Because babies are tricky wee creatures and just as you think you've got them figured out, they go and change again!

Hang in there!

We haven't formally done sleep training yet but C's sleep has been even worse than usual, with thatcfirstcwaje up inching earlier and earlier. It sucks. I want some uninterrupted sleep! Up now and hoping she goes down easier than last nights battle of wills.

We had to sleep train twice. She regressed majorly. And now is back to waking up at 5 and it sucks.

Hang in there Mom! They like to keep us on our toes.

My babies sleep degenerated at just over 3 months and is still horrible now at 4.5 months do you definitely don't have the worst sleeper out there. Most of my friends with babies are also dealing with multiple wakeups a night. It's just developmental. My husband and I take turns and just deal with it for now. We're not against sleep training but knew we wouldn't do it at 4 months because of the holidays coming up (travel and sleep disruptions) and because the book Bed Timing says 6 months plus is ideal for sleep training.

So we're just feeding her on demand ( even at night) and dealing with it. I'm back at work, so it's hard by manageable.

Hang in there!

I have the world's worst sleeper, at least the one in the 3 year old range.

I had to sleep train 3 times for it to go correctly, at 11 months. Hang in there.

@.twist.: I'm sorry you're having such a rough go at sleep. I miss seeing you around our August boards. I hope you were finally able to get some sleep last night.

@Cherrybee: your note about fighting the morning nap convinced me to just let her fall asleep on me right now. Little half nap on the boob will buy me some time, if Dh can be quiet

@.twist.: c has been pooping a lot more at night too. I was thinking it was bc she is up more to eat at night, therefore there is more to poop, but maybe it's the reverse- her tummy is upset so she's waking more? Either way we've had 3 blowouts in four mornings. But Dh gets her in the morning

It's always something; babies are always growing and changing. Sorry!! I'm just thankful I SAH and can rest if we have a bad night. We just got over our first sickness and I felt so bad he couldn't breathe, and it was giving me flashbacks of waking up multiple times a night!

@.twist.: Ugh! I had it in my head that once we sleep trained (I'm planning to do it at 5.5 months) that would be it - awesome little sleeper who rarely wakes in the night. I'm gutted to read these responses and realise that's not the case. Kill meeeee!

@.twist.: yea, i bet he's coming down with a little something, ugh i know its hard trust me...LO was a horrendous sleeper until 6.5 months, and even then was still waking up 1-2x a night for a longgg time, lol. It will pass soon I'm sure! Then he should go back to sleeping good for you!
